Emeka Egbuka Week 17 Outlook - Buccaneers at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 27th 2025, 9:35am EST

Last week was nightmare fuel for Emeka Egbuka stakeholders as his route share dipped to 50% and he became the clear third option in the passing offense, who was splitting snaps with Jalen McMillan. To make matters worse McMIllan had a higher target share and first-read share than Egbuka. Last week, Egbuka had only a 7.7% target share and 5.6% first-read share. It's impossible to start Egbuka with any confidence this week. If his playing time bounces back this week, I could be massively wrong about him, but we have no assurances that WILL HAPPEN. Sit Egbuka this week. Since Week 10, Miami has allowed the 13th-most PPR points per target and ranked 18th in fantasy points versus perimeter wide receivers.
